Preview (beginning of the article)

Schwäbisch Alb hill climb near Kirchheim/Teck. BMW tuner Hans-Peter Koepchen stands on a meadow called the paddock and, together with his mechanic Frowein, looks at the two white and blue BMW 2002s with satisfaction. Young talent and newcomer Hans-Joachim Stuck, just 18, has once again blown everything away in the timed practice runs. I'm a respectful second. As so often this season. The year is 1969 and the Koepchen BMW is the measure of all things in the two-liter touring car class. The young Stuck drives around the corners in such a way that everyone is terrified. He wins almost always and everywhere, on the mountain, on airfields, and on the Ring anyway. I can hardly keep up with my team-mate, but it's still often enough for a double victory. The hill climb on the Alb ends with a Stuck triumph, with me right behind.
